O fortunatos nimium, sua si bona norint
Agricolas, quibus ipsa, procul discordibus armis,
Fundit humo facilem victum justissima tellus!
--
O happy, far too happy — did ye wot, Ye rustic swains, the blessings of your lot; Remote from war, by labour ye are fed, And the impartial Earth, with daily bread.

Book II, lines 458-460 (translated by J. B. Rose)Virgil
Procul, O procul este, profani!
Virgil
O formose puer, nimium ne crede colori.
Virgil
Te propter nullos tellus tua postulat imbres,
arida nec pluvio supplicat herba Iovi.Tibullus
In musicis solum instrumentis commendabilem invenio gentis istius diligentiam. In quibus, prae omni natione quam vidimus, incomparabiliter instructa est. Non enim in his, sicut in Britannicis quibus assueti sumus instrumentis, tarda et morosa est modulatio, verum velox et praeceps, suavis tamen et jocunda sonoritas. Mirum quod, in tanta tam praecipiti digitorum rapacitate, musica servatur proportio; et arte per omnia indemni inter crispatos modulos, organaque multipliciter intricata, tam suavi velocitate, tam dispari paritate, tam discordi concordia, consona redditur et completur melodia.
